Help Fund Nina Paley's Minibooks About Intellectual Pooperty

from the i-got-five dept

Occasional Techdirt poster, filmmaker, comic artist and copyright critic Nina Paley recently put up her first Kickstarter campaign, seeking to raise $3,000 to produce a large print run of some "minibooks" of her series of comics about "Intellectual Pooperty." The idea is to put together these small books that can also be carried around and passed around. At $3,000, she could do a large enough print run to keep the prices down (print-on-demand is much more expensive). It took all of two days to reach $3,000 and the number keeps going up (full disclaimer: I kicked in $25 in order to get five of these books, so I can hand them out to folks when necessary). If you're unfamiliar with her work (and you shouldn't be if you read this site), here's a sampling of strips that we had posted last year:

The eenie Mimi & Eunice row can match a tidier bind for show

Seeing as how Nina wants to give contributors even more than they bargained for, and in reply to the update she put up about the book's binding process, may I suggest that the agreement terms be filled in with perfect bound? Also, any extras can be given in the cheaper stitch to maximize the extras.

Thanks!

Right now it looks like I can get at least 10,000 minibooks printed, thanks to a printer/supporter offering print services at cost, along with everyone's generous contributions. The books will be perfect-bound, too! A bumper crop of minibooks for everyone.

I'm not whining. I just don't find her comics to be funny or insightful. I agree with most of what Mike says on this site...I just think Nina's stuff is pretty poor. I apologize if that makes you hurt inside.
